"If you get rejected, don’t see it as a failure, see it as a way to get better. "

This is so important! A lot of people take this as total failure and think they're useless. Please, just take this as opportunity to find out what skills you are missing and learn them. Or maybe you're just not perfect fit for what they are looking for right now.

Agreed! There are reasons to why they didn't pick you, there's nothing wrong with learning from the experience and improving yourself. You're not a failure, you just need to find your missing puzzle piece. :)

The #1 issue I've had with this is never being told why you fail. I've been on about a dozen final round interviews, and after every "Thank you for applying, however" email, I was always told "No feedback". This is the biggest reason why people see rejection as failure, because 99% of the time it doesn't show you why you need to approve. It's entirely possible to do everything right perfectly and still not get an offer, depending on who else is interviewing at the same time.
